firefox add-on/extension to save previous session windows/tabs ?

[manhunter2826]

hi folks, does anyone know a good add-on / extension for ff which 'saves' your open windows/tabs. i tell u why. when i use ccleaner to empty the cache/clear cookies etc. and then restart ff, all my open previous windows are gone. and yes, i have enabled in tools in ff: save last open windows/tabs etc. but no matter what i do it will forget my saved session after using ccleaner.

for example, the brilliant opera never has this issue as u can save multiple different sessions. so, does anyone know of anything similar for ff? thanks all as always.

manhunter .

xmarks will do it but the free version doesn't , despite the option ,i think you need to pay

Xmarks | Bookmark Sync and Search

okay, thanks booh. does xmarks really save sessions as i want or just synch across machines? thanks though for your help. anyone else know of a free and tested solution? this really annoys me.

given u rep too boo, thanks .

I dont know as i havent the paid version, i can say it is excellent for syncing bookmarks ,i presume if it says it will sync the last session it will.

okay thanks boo, have repped u, might not be what i want though. i am not so much interested in syncing bookmarks as just having ff save my last open windows/tab session. it always seems to fail to do so after using ccleaner. this is never an issue with the brilliant opera which has in built saved session feature. anyone else ?

Mozilla Archive Format.
It allows you to save all tabs as a single maff zip file, it also allows saving and opening pages as mht and it's free.

thanks for the rep manhunter, xmarks features include syncing bookmarks , saving last open tabs and history, the beauty of xmarks is that you can log into xmarks from a different computer in another location and its all there, plus you need never worry about losing your bookmarks etc.

It works for me if you uncheck session in CCleaner.

duzz, after the session/pages are saved -- do they open successfully in a normal ff browser window? thanks

Ahh no I believe it has to have the extension installed, but you can always use Firefox portable from portableapps.com (Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB, portable and cloud drives).

EDIT: As long as the extension is installed you can double click the file. Portable version you will probably have to click "Open with" or drag into FF.
